Title: Dansguardian - restart / refresh
Post by: AndyCocker on March 31, 2006, 02:50:58 PM

Hi,

I have a fresh install of SME7RC1. Did YUM update from server-manager.

I then installed Dansguardian:

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver//contribs/dungog/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/RPMS.dungog/dansguardian-2.8.0.6-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver//contribs/dungog/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/RPMS.dungog/dungog-blacklists-0.1-12.noarch.rpm
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver//contribs/dungog/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/RPMS.dungog/smeserver-dansguardian-1.2-4.noarch.rpm

with

Code: [Select]

yum install *.rpm

Everything seems to go to install fine, and dansguardian starts OK on reboot.

My question is this: When I make changes to dansguardian config files, how do I refresh dansguardian?

I have tried

Code: [Select]

dansguardian restart, but get this error:

Code: [Select]

Error binding server socket (is something else running on the filter port? [8080])
Exiting with error

I am forced to reboot in order for the changes I made to be enforced.

If I'm using the wrong command(s), please let me know. Otherwise I'll report it as a bug.

Andy

You should be able to do...

/etc/rc7.d/S**dansguardian restart


Where ** is the 2 digit start number

Byte,

Thanks for replying.

I tried

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc7.d/S91dansguardian restart

which indeed appears to restart dansguardian, but then I am no longer able to access any websites from my client machine... I get 'Page cannot be displayed'.. not dansguardian block page that I got previously.

Whilst a reboot fixes things once more, it's clearly not the best solution.

Do I need to restart any other services? I tried restarting

Code: [Select]

S86httpd-e-smith and

Code: [Select]

S86httpd-admin
but neither helped.

Got it working,

BUT... it's strange.... it seems I have to restart dansguardian twice to get the changes to register!

At least this seems to now work.

Most of the steps in my HOWTO are still apllicable to sme7.
Just use the newer rpms and there are now 2 basic config files to modify, search for a recent forum post about this.
